There was a report of a drunken (having eaten fermented cherries) European badger (Meles meles) bringing traffic to a halt in Germany (http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE5683O720090709). The poor animal had diarrhoea but fell asleep on the motorway. It had to be pushed to safety with a broom.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
